From August 19 to 23, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will host a free five-day online course to provide students with the fundamentals of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). The course will be delivered virtually through the IIRS-ISRO e-class platform. There is no cost to participate in this program. A “Course Participation Certificate” will be awarded to students who finish the course with at least 70% of attendance.
Professionals, students, and researchers in disciplines such as computer science, geoinformatics, and civil engineering are intended audience for the free ISRO course.
The goal of the free five-day course on “AIs” is to promote creativity in the space industry and beyond as part of the IIRS outreach program.
Courses Offered:
The ISRO course will address these wide-ranging subjects: Overview of AI/ML and DL, Supervised, Unsupervised, and Reinforcement Learning Techniques , Applications of CNN, RNN, R-CNN, Faster RCNN, SSD, YOLO, and other Deep Learning concepts , Lidar Systems in Space , Using the Google Earth engine, machine learning and Python for Deep Learning/Machine Learning Models.
Using an online learning environment, the course will offer lecture slides, video recordings of lectures, open-source software, and demonstration handouts from August 19–23, 2024.
